We're number one for a reason: Pillar To Post has been named #1 in the Home Inspection category by Entrepreneur Magazine in its Annual Franchise 500 issue for six years running because we work to earn your trust and confidence with every home inspection we perform every day! 

As home inspectors and community members of Fairfield County, Connecticut we have had the pleasure of working with and maintaining relationships with buyers, sellers, real estate agents and lawyers for over 12 years. 

Our customers trust us to be professional, accurate, honest, and effective, both in performing the inspection and in communicating the results. This trust is held in high esteem, and we work to ensure that we keep it.

Even after 12 years and over 5,000 home inspections, we take great pride and satisfaction in our work, and it shows! A third party rating agency has found that we enjoy a gratifying 97% satisfaction rating among our clients and the Realtors we work with. Many of our clients tell us that they have had more fun and learned more about homes with a Pillar To Post home inspection than with any other home inspection they experienced previously. We constantly hear, "I have never had such a fantastic, thorough home inspection! I learned so much!"
